Yes, I learn much better when the audio randomly becomes super loud for less than a second & goes back to normal..Especially learn the best whenever he says anything with a 'b' or a 'p' sound & it explodes a deep thunderous 'puff' sound.
For anyone wondering , this is UPC-A barcode generation algorithm . There are many others , for example "Code 128" barcode generation algorithm is capable of encoding alphanumeric characters from ASCII character set.
Easily one of THE most informative videos per minute that I've seen! I learned more about bar codes in four minutes than I did in seventeen years in the grocery biz! Thanks!
I showed a photo of a paint can with a small bar code on it to an employee who scanned the screen and instantly brought up the same product on his phone. I work in a pretty tech industry and it's pretty cool that such a simple design works so well
It's funny, me and my dad were having a conversation about this when I was visiting him, and by chance I saw this video about 40 minutes before he phones, thanks a lot for the upload, this is a great channel.
Thats crazy the 0 and 1 light reflection was exactly the opposite of what I was thinking and this is all interesting. Definitely gonna dive deeper into this.
I might have missed it, but I think you forgot to mention that the numbers on the right side are inverted to those on the left (0 becomes 1 and vice versa). Zero on left: 0001101; Zero on right 1110010
QUESTION! ---- I'd really LOVE TO KNOW the extent of what a barcode can tell me --- I work in a warehouse & I've been told that the first 3 numbers tell you the country it was made in (true or not?), you mentioned the first digit showing standard or weighted things; what about 4 through 9? & do you know of a link or any reading material anywhere for me to look through? I've been looking on the web for ages but this video has told me more then all the other research I've done. Thank you!
Interestingly, I've noticed no one has pointed out that the right side's number codes are just the inverse of the left side's. Example: Left side 1: 0011001 Right side 1: 1100110
@boombasticLee If you are attempting to calculate a 13th digit, then you are creating a symbology known as EAN13 (looks similar to UPC). In this particular example, UPCa takes 11 digits and produces a 12th (check digit).
In the case of the barcode, the binaries are just a standard, not the binary equivalent for the decimal number. To convert a binary number to a decimal number you can use this: For example, converting 10101010 into decimal, 1*2^7+0*2^6+1*2^5+0*2^4+1*2^3+0*2^2+1*2^1+0*2^0 So the binary 10101010 is equivalent to the decimal 170. Maybe this can help you: watch?v=Fmb3TCvlETk
Use Excel data to print bulk barcode labels - In order to improve work efficiency, you can first enter the value of the barcode in Excel, and then import it into our barcode generator software to make barcodes in batches.
Did they come up with the codes on the left side and then inverted them to get those on the right or are the codes on the left side an inversion of the codes on the right?
Love the way you have explained how barcode works. But how does one know exactly which manufacturer and product has which code? Is there an administered international database that we have to register into? Provided that there is no administered database, can anyone generate their own EAN barcodes for free, with their favorite numbers as manufacturer and product code?

The people who figured out this complicated system, what planet are they from? Whew! Excellent job with the video but I have to go now as my brain is now full! Best of luck!
How do you make the translation from binary to decimal ? Left side the binary 0011001 is translated as 1, but on the right 1100110 is 1. I can see a logic in that on the right side the 1 becomes 0 and vice versa, but i can't see the further logic. I haven't been searching too much tbh. :)
BokanProductions To answer the question for anyone curious 2 years later here, the code will continue to be allocated to the product for awhile even after discontinuation ad many stores will still be selling the item for awhile, and many suppliers will still have leftover product for awhile. But in the long run yes it will eventually be recycled.
Especially if you are looking at the much compressed versions that define most of the equations by employing operators such as the gradient, divergence, curl or del operators. Then you have to look all of those up and learn that the bolded letters are actually Vector potentials or Vector fields, and how those function. Then you learn partial derivatives and cross and dot products. By then you will have just scratched the surface. Math, helping the universe confuse us.
but what about other barcodes... EAN-13 don't have the Modulo Check number or the Number System Character (0)... how do they work that stuff out... how do they do a final check?Also what is best practice, should we include the Check number and Number system in a barcode or should they not be part of the barcode...I guess you are using a UPC-A code, what is the difference between that and UPC-E?
1 - Reserved for future use 2 - Items sold by varying weight, such as meats and cheese. 3 - Drug and health items 4 - Used by stores for local needs 5 - Manufacturer coupons that can be doubled or tripled. 6 - General merchandise *7 - General merchandise* 8 - Reserved for future use 9 - Manufacturer coupons that cannot be doubled or tripled. It was a copy-paste so don't thank me about it.
I wish every educational video on youtube was like this. Brief yet comprehensive.
Perfect comment! If only they were!
Yes this channel is best

Finally! Now I can get rid of my POS system and read the bar codes myself!
ConnecticutEmporium Point of sale or piece of shit?
mxm m both, i guess
LOL I know this is a joke but you’d also have to memorize all of the manufacturing codes and the product numbers.
Finally! I know all the steps to shoplift!
Wow, this was a great video. Very interesting and informative. Now I have a great conversation piece to break the awkward silence on a first date.
Lmao awesome
You're going to bore a date to death on the first date???
....and the last......😴
Hey girl wanna learn about barcodes lmao!! that would def be an ice breaker kinda funny too
HAHAHA
Walmart Employer: "So... what's a skill you have?"
Me: "I can understand barcodes."
🤣
LOL
hahahaha

Way above my comprehension abilities. I got lost about a minute in and then my mind wanders about something I can comprehend.

These type of videos are what I always wanted! I wish the internet was more populated with this type of stuff. LOVE IT. KEEP MAKING MORE! And thanks.
Your voice should be on TV. Even when you say chicken soup it's interesting.
This cashier is grateful for the lesson!
Tobie Allen II same lmao
Concise and straight to the point! Thank you for making us learn and saving our time.
The most articulate explanation you can ever get in this world... Well done for Excellent videos.
It's funny, me and my dad were having a conversation about this when I was visiting him, and by chance I saw this video about 40 minutes before he phones, thanks a lot for the upload, this is a great channel.
I'll never see barcodes the same way ever again. Thank you!
Amazing, I learnt this is 5 mins. Wow, great informative video.
Absolutely fantastic! You make it seem so simple!
Thats crazy the 0 and 1 light reflection was exactly the opposite of what I was thinking and this is all interesting. Definitely gonna dive deeper into this.
Very nice and comprehensive way of giving a lesson. Thanks A LOT!
This is very useful lesson for me. Thanks to you I have made a project at my university!
Very nicely done. I only wanted to know the basics of barcodes before I present a proposal to a company and it is well explained.
every answer to every question I had about barcodes right here!! thanx really helpful!!!
THEPROGOLDLION hey lol
my scanner works on my phone, at least, and it really is Campbells Chicken Noodle soup. $1.29 apparently.
+dukestt What a deal!
dukestt. I saw that dude i was at Wal-Mart when I saw that
🤣😂🤣
very clear, short, yet enough info to understand barcode system. Great!
Thanks a lot for such a brilliant lecture just in one lesson. Thanks again.
i work in a warehouse and im super glad to finally understand this
I might have missed it, but I think you forgot to mention that the numbers on the right side are inverted to those on the left (0 becomes 1 and vice versa). Zero on left: 0001101; Zero on right 1110010
Magnificent video tutorial. Very clear voice and wonderful illustrations. Thanks a lot :-) Subscribed.
This really helped me in my college math class. Thank you! :)
how
that was awesome! exactly what i was looking for for the last 2 hrs! thanks for breaking it down for us!!
I'm replying to a 9 year old comment.XD
i feel less dumb.
Same here;)
It's important to note that this is a UPC, there are many types of barcodes and they work differently than UPCs
You are really amazing
You did this just in 4 minutes
Thank you
Very elegant and clear presentation, thanks!!!
Omg this is mindblown for me. Thank you very much! Old but gold video.
"do you know how barcodes work?"
that would be a cool opener for that cute cashier :) LOL
I'm sure that cute cashier is on hour six of her shift and gives two fucks about how a bar code works lmao
Very good course to quickly understand how bar codes work.
It's unbelievable that all that happens in just one second when I beep my product in a store :0
This small video has everything and it was really easy to understand 😃
Thanks a lot because i have a presentation tomorrow on this topic.
Up to now, i’ve come to know how barcodes work. Really interesting information.
QUESTION! ---- I'd really LOVE TO KNOW the extent of what a barcode can tell me --- I work in a warehouse & I've been told that the first 3 numbers tell you the country it was made in (true or not?), you mentioned the first digit showing standard or weighted things; what about 4 through 9? & do you know of a link or any reading material anywhere for me to look through?

Holy crap. That was way more than I could have imagined.
The people that came up with this were way ahead of their time.
Moooore video plz. This chanel could be in the top 10 edu channels on youtube!

FABULOUS video!!!! Bravo. Request: Can you do a similar video for 2D Barcodes/QRCodes?
WOW!! I feel so enlightened!
Do we have to feed the manufacture and product codes in computer first?
@n40798
Yes, it is UPCA. UPCE takes in the same amount of data but produces an 8 digit barcode.
What's happens when it's completely scratched off is it still readable like able to read what barcode was there last?
Finally a video that answers my shower thought about a barcode knowing if it is upside down. Thanks lol
Thank you for this lesson. Can you share the presentation you used?
What happens if u were to draw a line through the lines would it obstruct the processing of the barcode?
Go to your supermarket and find out!

So theoretically, could I replace the type of barcode on lets say an apple from a 2 to a 0, and just get the apple without having to weigh it at all?
Did they come up with the codes on the left side and then inverted them to get those on the right or are the codes on the left side an inversion of the codes on the right?
Did you mention about the Absorption Lines?
how do you calculate for 13 digit barcode digits ?
Love the way you have explained how barcode works. But how does one know exactly which manufacturer and product has which code? Is there an administered international database that we have to register into? Provided that there is no administered database, can anyone generate their own EAN barcodes for free, with their favorite numbers as manufacturer and product code?
Is the modulo check character similar to a checksum?
My TaoHorse barcode scanner works great for 1D/2D barcodes, iPhone, PC, etc., finally know what happens, thanks:)
:( i wanted him to go into the tracking of items, very informative though! thanks!
Is it possible to know the price of the thing that has this barcode on it ?
Dude your videos are awesome!!

Great explanation. Why the channel stopped producing this type of videos?
You are one damn good teacher man
Very well explained; thanks for sharing!
Thankyou so much for this amazing explanation :)
Is it work with ought numerical digit?
some barcode it seeing with numerical digit and some without digit!!
Next time i see a tough guy with a barcode tattooed on the back of his head I'll be able to figure it out. It'll say Chicken Noodle Soup probably.
i have learn how to make barcode, but i still dont know hot to set price on them !!!!????? if you kan help me with that
Most efficient video on youtube
The people who figured out this complicated system, what planet are they from? Whew! Excellent job with the video but I have to go now as my brain is now full! Best of luck!
I can now read barcodes without a scanner, thanks!
That's help me understand and make my own DIY Barcode with MS-Excel, Thank you.
How do you make the translation from binary to decimal ? Left side the binary 0011001 is translated as 1, but on the right 1100110 is 1. I can see a logic in that on the right side the 1 becomes 0 and vice versa, but i can't see the further logic. I haven't been searching too much tbh. :)
Adrian Roata i think you convert the binary number based on the list in 1:40
not to decimal
I just spent the last hour trynna to figure out this x)
@@emad3241 Are those translations just completely arbitrary or is there some methodology which means that 0011001 = 1 etc?
I understood everything until the modulo check number and then I was like, "Yeah, I'll never be able to explain this to anyone..."
You are awesome,
this is also 1 lession:

When a product is discontinued do they reuse that product's barcode for a different product? I mean it's not like it's ever going to be used again.
BokanProductions To answer the question for anyone curious 2 years later here, the code will continue to be allocated to the product for awhile even after discontinuation ad many stores will still be selling the item for awhile, and many suppliers will still have leftover product for awhile. But in the long run yes it will eventually be recycled.
@@Luckingsworth nice
This is in Morse Code. It's dots and dashes to generate numbers.
Very informative! Thanks a lot!
thanks sir..Very easy n effectively explained..
Thank you so much. I was able to create a program to generate a barcode
Thanks this lesson helped me alot.
Interesting video, but what is the difference between UPCA and Code 39 barcodes?
Great job sir,thanks
i feel much more clever now than i was when i woke up this morning

You said that the first digit (in this case 0) shows the type of the product - so how about if the digit is 7?
1 - Reserved for future use
2 - Items sold by varying weight, such as meats and cheese.
3 - Drug and health items
4 - Used by stores for local needs
5 - Manufacturer coupons that can be doubled or tripled.
6 - General merchandise
*7 - General merchandise*
8 - Reserved for future use
9 - Manufacturer coupons that cannot be doubled or tripled.
It was a copy-paste so don't thank me about it.
7 is reserved for automatic firearms and illegal drugs
